i’m a main d.va and i went trough all her reworks and i feared them all, d.va is great in diving and eating stuff and i think she’s pretty well balanced, but she’s kinda weak in diving without constant supports such as mercy, what do you think ?
Do you expect to jump onto the enemy and fight them all single-handed?
nah, that would be too op
I think they should do something about her mecha, maybe give it more lives or something.
Or change up her matrix.
Because while playing her, you want to dive on heroes that are alone or so like a widow, hanzo, or maybe even a soldier. But to do that you have to use your matrix, but after you’ve used that you have to wait 2 seconds for it to be used again. And that can get really annoying.
Because you have widowmaker who can headshot your mecha and even use her spreadgun to kill your mecha as well (that has happened to me a few times)
And then you have hanzo who has his storm arrows as well. And even soldier can easily kill your mecha.
Like something needs to be done about this so d.va can survive better while diving on the enemies.

she’s pretty strong against certain heroes/heroes abilities, like she’s strong against mei and zarya ult but weak against their basic abilities, i don’t think giving her more life, would balance her more, or at least decrease her armor by 100 or 150 and gave her 50 temporary armor while hitting a target or using her boost
her matrix his pretty well balanced too, she can eat a bunch of ultimate, and i personally think it’s fine, she could get something like, if she “eat” a certain amount of projectiles, her cool-down would be reduced or her next matrix would last longer
her overall survivability is damn long, i barely die while playing her, but her meka’s survivability without a support is pretty short, and calling and losing the make each 30 secs is kinda annoying but fine, i’m used to it
D.Va was like this at one point.
i think, they should decrease her armor by 100 or 150 and gave her 50 temporary armor while boosting or hitting a target with her boost.
Her matrix is fine to me, but i think (again) that her matrix need a little up like, when eating a certain amount of projectiles, her next cooldown would be decrease or her next charge of matrix would last longer
it happened to me too, d.va is good at midrange against any hero, but bad in close range, with small or fast hero, such as tracer or hanzo
her overall survivability is really good, i barely die while playing her, but her meka survivability without a support and diving constantly is poor

i barely eat things in a 15 meters range, i mostly play d.va in close range or midrange, but eating from far away is useless, what might happen is that d.va players would get forced to play in close range essentially
ok then.
tbh honest, i just fear that d.va will become less effective in protecting allies from behind from a 15 meters range.
And what happened? She got nerfed.
She doesn’t need a buff. She needs a redesign. Again.
How many times have they nerfed defensive matrix at this point? Obviously, this is an ability the devs hate having to deal around, because it dominates pro level play. Yet after endless nerfs (I think both the duration and the cooldown functionality has been nerfed twice each, and now the size?) it’s almost a non-ability in terms of fulfilling the nominal role of the character as any sort of ‘tank.’
It can still gobble up ultimates, still one of the best abilities in the game.
she’s special because she’s a tank but without tank abilities (except the matrix), she can dive into the enemy and throw a deadly bomb, all the other tanks has tanks ability, even roadhog, he can heal himself and it reduces the overall damage taken while healing, d.va just got a matrix that got multiple time nerfed, it’s not bad to balance things, but as you said, she won’t be a sort of a tank after nerfing too much the matrix.
What are you talking about, she is more of a tank than Roadhog, always has been.
well yeah, with the matrix, but without the matrix, she can just take damages and dive.
